Well in a way it is sort of like what Jarred and Barry are doing here, but in some cases it can be more politcal or like this one http://www.hdforindies.com/ more germain to this industry.  In general it is a person's research posted on the internet in the order that they found it that supports their basic thesis.  I thin that the best ones are those that just research and then analyze, and don't use it to prove a point.

Hope that helps,

Jan

Tuesday

So I goto Natpe.. Tedd Turner does his thing and its all and all kinda boring. Have a few sucessful meetings with aquisition managers of a few larger distributors and then I see Kato Kallen walking around and decide that's enough of Natpe.

Downstairs from Natpe.. is the SIA snowboard industry show, with all next years stuff for all buyers to see. Somehow I get in, but as soon as the camera comes out I get in tons of trouble. Back To Natpe.

and Robin Webb, and an amazing writer that was having way to much fun.

I go back to the Luxor where im staying at around 8pm for a nightcap and meet some people at the lounge, including
a stunninG Italian Painter named Deb . We have some drinks, go close down a few dance clubs and wander around till we realize its 6am.  :o I was amazed how quiet Vegas is right before the sun comes up.

Anyways.. so around 8am I realize trying to sleep is retarded and its raining like mad so I go have breakfast with my new friend and bail out to the airport.  get on a crappy sold out flight and get stuck in a coach seat that was way too small for my long long long legs.

Arrive back at Vancouver around 7pm. Turn on the computer and get ready to pack and ship a load of batteries before people get really mad.

Kid in a candy store! Jeesh, it would have hurt too much to see all the new goods since I just bought a whole new setup. Now I'm hoping for some more Sierra pow-pow! :D
 
Re: Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

sorry we got off track.. Nothing Exciting happening today. Just shipped out all the batteries and Got unpacked. Gotta pack again in a few hours, so its off to dinner.
 
Re: Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

Is this blog still going? I was hoping it'd turned into a snowboard thread!

Oh well... today is catch-up day, done shooting the Wizard of Oz corporate video, so today is catching up on the stuff that's been neglected -- taxes, sending out 1099's to contractors, dealing with the State taxation bureau, etc. Just ordered a new camera (DVX of course) for a new indie feature that I'm working on with Filmmaker58 directing... ordered from Rush at EVS of course... shipping the first order of DVX Books to Abel Cine Tech... finished up post on a DVD for the 15th anniversary video of a company... pre-lit the booth for the Shot Show last night, and tomorrow all day shooting that convention... plus probably a lot of other stuff that I can't think of right now.
 
Re: Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

barry, you sound like your pretty busy right now, hope youve got time to breath during all that going on! perhaps you should get a hot tub if you dont have one already.. a little wine.. some exotic foods youve never heard of.. the whole deal.. some R+R to balance things out. ;)

..jarred dude, i just cant stop thinking how pissed my wife would be if i went to vegas and came back with pictures like that. LOL . hope it was a good time man. the SIA would be cool you need to take your little pen cam so you dont get busted next time, cept i cracked my butt so hard on a rail last week that i dont want to see a board for a while. seriously, butts are not supposed to be blue. somehow it messed my shoulder up too. ..bah.

Welcome in our time zone, Jarred !!

Are you working for a travel agency ?

;D
 
Re: Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

Without reading back 6 pages... What's the deal with the road trip Jarred? What are you working on?

Or is this a "Confessions of a dangerous mind" deal and if you tell me you have to whack me?
